Sorry, long topic title. I was thinking about which of my "favorite" outliner apps I would give up if something better came along. Unfortunately "favorite" doesn't necessarily mean good or great, ...

BTW, WiFi sync does not always work on mesh networks. I find it is more reliable to create a network on my laptop, connect the iPad to that network, and then sync MJ on both machines.

Entry templates are in my top 5 MacJournal goodies list. I use these for daybook entries and other categories.

Welcome to MacJournal, Bill. I agree with everything you wrote. Though I am still concerned that there seems to have been silence from Dan since 2 years ago. (Maybe he started a new blog some pl...
I'm not a fan of the "bucket app" idea. We all have a terrific "bucket app" by default -- the file system. I'd suggest the problem should be approached from the needs perspective -- what are your ...
Yes. Definitely wasn't a good idea to post a recommendation for something I like and use without first consulting those who know better. Now I know! Many thanks for setting me straight.
@satis is complete right, as usual. Drafts rules, of course.
Chris -- if you are following along, please delete this thread so more folks aren't mislead about Edit.
Then don't use it? Really, it's about simple. Sometimes that's appealing.

Dynalist gets an API
7/3/2018
It's a very minimalist API. Get a document. Post changes to a document. Send data to the Dynalist Inbox. Someone writing a native app would have to do all of the 98% of the rest of work involve...
Sure, all versions since v1.
But the point of Edit is it does only one thing. Which is all I need most of the time.

I think it's been mentioned here before, but this app is worth highlighting: Edit, by K.Q. Dreger

Peter, I definitely agree with Bill. And I like the Pro/Standard concept. From looking at screenshots and not the real deal, I definitely think you've designed a thoughtful, quite utile service.

That's on the high end of task apps -- Omnifocus Pro territory. Without an web or an iOS companion app, without sync, and especially without an iPhone presence I think it's a push.
Are you going...

Looks nice (sheetplanner.com).
What's the pricing scheme going to be? One-time license or subscription?

Visual Studio Code -- not just for development. Large library of extensions. Free. From Microsoft -- deep pockets and so not suffering from single-developer-itis.

"Summerfest" Mac Software Sale

Lucas, if you have an anonymized version you'd be willing to share as a template it would be interesting to see your approach.

I've attempted several times over the years to run ConnectedText in a CrossOver bottle. CrossOver is a hyped up, sort of pricey, version of wine. CT runs OK, but CT's user interface gets ugly when...
"Summerfest" Mac Software Sale

I'll take the bait.
Tinderbox is overpriced if what you want to do less than what Tinderbox does. So, avoid it. I wouldn't buy Mathematica if I needed a calculator. Same difference.
But if you ...

Glad to see you're back ...
I think templates for planning a trip, planning a research project, and tracking a team's action plan would be useful.

Why folding?

Though it might be a separate topic, for illustration in this topic I should ask what are the best examples of "folding" software and the best examples of "hoisting" software -- in your opinion -- on...
Why folding?
6/20/2018
I'm indifferent to "folding" -- a concept that I suspect is not simple. But clearly many confederates here enjoy or even demand folding in their software. Since a simple forum search here does not...

Oops. No. I wrote “Findings” but meant “Timings”.

I didn't look at your report, since that seems private.
I've used Timings occasionally, and Vitamin-R2, which is a different approach. I've found Vitamin-R2 useful, as is the Pomodoro method that V...
